About Jamie

After 20 years working in communications and public relations, I launched JamCracker Communications in 2024 to help mission-driven organizations tell their stories clearly, creatively, and with purpose.

I bring a rare blend of strategy, empathy, and design thinking to every project — turning big ideas and complex challenges into messaging that resonates, content that connects, and visuals that support your story.

My approach? Listen first.

The best work starts with understanding. I ask thoughtful questions, listen deeply, and build communications that reflect who you are — not just what you do.

Whether I’m developing a brand voice, crafting messaging strategy, or designing materials for a high-stakes launch, my goal is always the same: to deliver work that supports your mission and makes you proud to share it.

Before launching JamCracker, I spent two decades in senior roles leading communications strategy, managing public affairs, and shaping content across sectors — from nonprofits and advocacy groups to healthcare systems and law enforcement organizations.

Clients say I’m steady, responsive, and bring a mix of calm confidence and creative spark to the table. I care deeply about quality, connection, and helping good work get the visibility it deserves.

I’m based in Richmond, Virginia, where I live with my two amazing kids and our belly-rub-obsessed beagle. I love thoughtful design, salty snacks, and noticing beauty — whether it’s in nature or in the layout of a well-crafted report.

And after years of supporting incredible work behind the scenes, I wanted a seat at the table so I pulled up my own chair.

A little about me

What I believe

  • Every organization has a story. Some just need help telling it

  • Good messaging is about connection, not just clarity

  • Strong writing and beautiful design go hand in hand

  • Communications is never just about the words. It’s about the experience you create

Ready when you are.

If you're looking for a creative partner who brings clarity, calm, and energy to your work — let’s talk.
